Apple Befunge is a "retrolanguage" for the Apple ][+. Being written in Applesoft BASIC, it should also work on an Apple //e or similar model of 8-bit Apple computer (or, of course, an emulator thereof.) It is based largely on Befunge-93, with some Befunge-98-isms, and some instructions and behaviour peculiar to the Apple 8-bit architecture.

This is version 1.1 revision 2014.0819 of Apple Befunge, released on 19 Aug 2014. It includes several bug fixes over previous versions. The first version of Apple Befunge was made on 3 July 2000.

Example of Usage

After APPLE BEFUNGE EDITOR has loaded, a title screen will be displayed while it initializes. You will be prompted to press the RETURN key when initialization has completed. The screen will clear (slowly) and when this is finished the blinking cursor will be shown at the top-left of the screen.

Press Ctrl+O. You will be prompted to enter a filename. Enter HWII.BF and press the RETURN key. The program will be loaded (slowly) from disk and displayed at the top of the screen. When this is finished, the filename prompt will be erased and the blinking cursor will again be shown at the top-left of the screen.

Press Ctrl+G to run the program. When it generates a full line of output, it will be shown at the bottom of the screen in inverse text, followed by (EOL). Press RETURN to continue the program and wait for the next line of text.
